Belle's Ball
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 1 December 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Can you hold a tennis ball by its fuzz? :D
Belle's struggling with some serious ailments, so this photo of her is a precious treasure!
PS: She's 9.5 years old ~ this was taken several years ago.

Precious portrait of Belle. I love her haircut. She looks like a pro holding that tennis ball. I do have one just like it without the fuzz so doubt I could hold it well.
I hope she recovers from her ailments. I send my blessings.

@tyan: She is 9.5, Ty ... which for a small dog, could be half her expected lifespan. Sadly, that may not be her fate.
@Magda: It's so much fun to watch them. I'm glad to know Tikka can hold a ball by it fuzz also! :D

@Betty: Thank you, Betty ... at this point we don't know if it's her lungs or her heart, but we hope to learn soon.

She is precious Judy, what a personality, how playful! I know this time in her life is a struggle, not only for her but for you. Many prayers and much love for God's good blessings to pour out over Belle and you.

@Viewfinder: Thank you, Glenn ... we don't know whether to pray it's her lungs, or her heart, but neither of them is good. We hope to learn more soon.

@Jeff: Thank you, Jeff. That pillow was a gift from a friend in Nova Scotia, and Belle has claimed it as her own, sometimes curling up against it.

She is so adorable and I am so sorry that your little darling is not feeling well. My prayers are added to everyone else's. Now two pups to pray for Belle and Bella, but like VF says, God is good. Give her a pat from me. ♥
